"One Lucky Store!"

ST. LOUIS -- A south St. Louis QuikTrip store is proving lucky for Missouri Lotto players.

For the third time, the store at 8205 Gravois has sold a winning Lotto jackpot ticket, the Missouri Lottery said Monday. The most recent winning ticket sold for the April 9 Lotto drawing matched winning numbers 13, 14, 15, 17, 39 and 42, and is worth $1.3 million.

"This is one lucky location," said Gary Gonder, spokesman for the Missouri Lottery.

Of course, in order to believe this lie, you've got to have a worldview that says that there's some sort of skill or some sort of actual, real luck involved in winning the lottery. If you've got this worldview, then the story is perfect. Get in line, buddy.

Next thing you know, Gary Gonder will start telling us that people with certain Zodiac signs are likely to do better at video poker machines.

It is amazing how lucky a person can get by putting oneself in the way of luck. Just buying the lottery ticket is a chance. But buying one here is a better chance. I'll bet the owner of the store makes a lot of marketing mileage from these winners. And by that, generates luck!

It's completely true some zodiac signs are luckier than others I have noted that Taurus men seem particularly lucky when it comes to winning - whether it's a lottery or video poker or any other type of slot machine - they have a higher winning ratio than all the other star signs.

Not sure if that was a MArketing Campaign, more of a news story. For a specific Gas Station to sell that many winning tickets is an interesting story. I'm sure it caused hype but that probably wasn't the direct intention.

i can see how you can make it look that way. I think this is alot like #'s, you see what you want to see.
